A Harahan woman who was arrested last year while allegedly driving a stolen sports utility vehicle will not face charges. The Jefferson Parish district attorney's office has declined to prosecute Angel Parfait, 38, on a charge of possession of stolen property, saying there was "insufficient evidence.''

The Harahan Police Department booked her with the charge in January 2012, during an investigation into a chop shop operation. Police said at the time they tracked two vehicles that had been stolen in New Orleans. Parfait was driving one of them, a 2004 Jeep Cherokee, police said.

Its VIN plates had been replaced, but a vehicle identification number was found engraved in the frame, confirming that the Cherokee had been reported stolen in August 2004, police said.

Assistant District Attorney David Wolff said Thursday that prosecutors had "insufficient evidence" to move forward with a case.
